Clear Aligners in Asheboro, NC
Clear Aligners offer a modern, discreet way to straighten your teeth without traditional braces. At Kania & Khan Orthodontics, Dr. Michael Kania and Dr. Salaar Khan provide customized clear aligner treatment designed to fit your lifestyle while delivering effective, predictable results.
What Are Clear Aligners?
Clear Aligners are a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is designed to apply gentle, controlled pressure, guiding your smile step by step.
Because they are made from clear, smooth material, they are nearly invisible when worn and comfortable for everyday use.
How Do Clear Aligners Work?
Treatment begins with a digital scan of your teeth, which is used to create a personalized treatment plan. You will receive a series of aligners that are worn in sequence, each one making small adjustments over time.
To achieve the best results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
What Are The Benefits Of Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners are a popular choice for patients who want flexibility and a more discreet treatment option. Benefits include:
- Nearly invisible appearance
- Removable for eating and oral hygiene
- Smooth, comfortable fit with no brackets or wires
- Fewer in-office visits in many cases
- Customized treatment for predictable results

A consultation with Dr. Kania or Dr. Khan will determine if clear aligners are the right option for your specific needs.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients complete treatment within 6 to 24 months.
Wearing your aligners consistently as directed is key to staying on schedule and achieving the best results.
How Do I Care For My Aligners?
